Hey Concrete guy's...?

[HammerDown]

How many yards needed for a 9 x 10.5 pad that is 6-7" deep?
I ain't putting down any stone or wire.
Expansion joint...yes.
3500 psi...yes.
Also any truth to the fiber mix?
Thanks for any info...I kind of forget the forumla for figuring out the needed amount...(duh) :notam: 80 square feet 4" thick = 1 yard...or something like that?

Yard and a half for the 6" and two yards for the 7 inches.....One joint down the middle or better yet quarter it. 3500 is plenty good for a patio.....

Thanks for the reply...guess I'll get a touch heavy on the 2 yards.
Also this is a parking area for my F250 Diesel. Think I should go for the Fiber Mix?

Well based on what I've read in the past you've written, if you do I'd follow it up with some cheese so you don't have a real mess on your hands.

"own the lot next door" Huh... :confused:

Ohhhhh... hardy-har-har...thats rich. Actually I just had some low-carb pancakes > (gurgle-gurgle) things are starting to churn :squiggle:

My bad
:D

You guys brothers? I always reccommend fiber. If its a patio and somthing that shows use "Stealth" fiber or short hair as its called. If its base for stone or brick use the long hair....BIG difference. If your in the Riverside to San Diego area I can get whatever you need including finishers.....oh, and a little too much concrete is always better than not enough....

Superior is my family

[JetBoatRich]

Superior is my family
we are using Fourth St., Robertsons and Short Load(if needed) I am open to new companies if they need more business :eek:

[HammerDown]

The local suppler said it called for 3 yards...@ 7" deep :confused: I think thats a bit much.
I've got an few extra shovel fulls going other places.
$300.00 delivered 3500 psi w/fiber.

Looking for some mud in the Corona Area.................Any suggestions or referrals?

[Deano]

6" thick is actually 1.75 yards.
7" thick is 2.03
I wouldnt order it right on the money. If your going 6", order at least 2 yards
7" get 2.5 yards.
There are alot of factors that would make you come up short and your 300 just turned into 600.
Make sure you dont have any flyash in the mix and dont get out of control on the water.

Robertsons... I dont like their business dealings, but they have good mud

[HammerDown]

Well I did the pour...so how long before I can park my F 250 on it? (Remember 6-7" thick). If I recall, 2 weeks...correct?
PS. as I may have mentioned, I haven't messed with mud since before the 90's. Did it quite often prior to that, and now I know why I don't miss it...my friken knees feel like someone hit them with a sledge hammer :hammerhea . 48 going on 70 :(
Also I don't remember "fiber mix" being around back then...pretty impressive stuff!

I would wait at two weeks. Should be about 90% by then. So how much did you order? Waht kinda mix? Leftover?

[riverroyal]

no comment,pm me,if your curious

2 weeks it is ;) ...I got 3 yards and actually finished it about 1/2" above the other slab's because they were sunken down in areas. I'll bust them out at a later date (when my knees and back heal) :notam: .
I also had a few small deep patches I did for my neighbor and there was a few wheel barrels left in the truck, so yes 3 yards was a bit much. For the next 10.5 X 9 slab 7" I'll order less mix. As I mentioned...I like the fiber mix, looks fuzzy when ya leave a broom finish :D

[NashvilleBound]

I think the fiber is a huge plus. I poured some decks on my house in Valley Center...outside, up stairs..and didnt realize till they were done that the beam below was failing....to remove the deck I had to break it into micro pieces. It sucked but I learned allot about fiber!
